API-gebruik bijhouden en exporteren per "Channel"

DanielDormont

Hallo,

Ik ben enkele applicaties aan het migreren van het Google Maps Platform naar het ArcGIS Platform en heb een vraag over hoe ik het gebruik van het platform door mijn gebruikers kan bijhouden. Google heeft iets dat "channels" heet. Daarbij kan een afzonderlijk API-verzoek of een clientsessie worden gekoppeld aan een unieke channel-ID, die vervolgens in rapportages kan worden gebruikt.

Bestaat er een vergelijkbaar concept in het ArcGIS Platform? Ik heb in de documentatie gezocht, maar niets kunnen vinden.

En aansluitend daarop: is er een manier om gebruiksgegevens uit het platform te exporteren, uitgesplitst naar verschillende criteria, bijvoorbeeld API-sleutels? De grafiek op https://developers.arcgis.com/usage is handig, maar ik hoop wat meer met de gegevens te kunnen doen.

Tot slot: is er een API waarmee je nieuwe API-sleutels kunt genereren? Dat zou ook een interessante mogelijkheid zijn. Maar ik kan hierover niets vinden in de documentatie voor ontwikkelaars.

Bedankt,
Dan

Any thoughts on this? Or any other resource where I can get more information on the topic of monitoring usage and API keys?

Hi Daniel,

Is there any similar concept in ArcGIS Platform?

You are right, we don't provide a similar mechanism to segment usage .

BTW: I think this is a nice idea that should be posted to ArcGIS Developers' ideas. Only customers can post there, and if the idea gets enough "Kudos" it get more chances to be implemented.

Related to this question:

is there a way to export usage data from the platform grouped by different criteria, for example API Keys?

There are a set of endpoints for usage reports ("related" question) but I don't think that's what you are looking for (it is related to ArcGIS Online and Enterprise organization reports not to API keys). We are also planning to upload a short video next week related to this in ArcGIS Developer account management. In the meantime you can check this python script that uses the Billing API to get usage statistics for each API key

is there an API of some sort that can generate new API keys? That could be an interesting approach too. But I can't find anything like that in the developer documentation.

You are also right, this is not documented but you can check this technical session to learn how to create and rotate API keys programmatically. I hope that helps

Thanks,
Raul

Hi @DanielDormont,

Were you able to solve this?.

I also wanted to give you a quick update about this. We are already working on improving the documentation. I don't know if you heard about this Postman collection we made, I hope you find it useful.

If you have any additional feedback, let us know // cc: @AnitaKemp

Hi @Raul_Jimenez thanks for following up. I ended up doing something kind of different instead, in which I basically keep my own database table to track usage and just use one API key for all of my backend geocoding tasks.

In the end the biggest issue I ran into (and I think I made another post about this elsewhere) is that Developer / Platform accounts are not able to create multiple users or identities in the "organization". So that means that even to let my application do something as seemingly simple as create a new API Key, I'd have to literally put my own personal credentials, that are tied to my billing account, cases, My Esri, Partner Community etc., into my production environment. That's not something I'm able to do.

Thanks Dan, we really appreciate the feedback.

Yes, you are right, I know the team is working to improve that, so I hope we can soon give you a better solution for that soon.

Bests,
Raul

DanielDormont

Thanks. I suppose you could argue that I should have created a new public account purely for the Developer / Platform stuff and then those credentials would not be tied to any of the other things I mentioned, but I was not at all familiar with the ArcGIS ecosystem when I first signed up so that wasn't clear to me. And the billing issue would still be there.

Perhaps that's the issue though: that most of the documentation assumes ArcGIS Platform is for existing ArcGIS Online developers looking to expand their offerings, whereas I was an existing application developer with no prior ArcGIS experience looking for a cloud-based location services provider.

Hi @Raul_Jimenez ,

Please add me to this ticket. I would love to see some improved documentation for the billing api. We are extracting usage statistics for each API key using FME and an adaptation of the postman/scripts you posted earlier. However we are struggling to get the numbers to match exactly to what we are seeing in the billing page on Platform.

I also don't understand exactly what I am seeing, why for each API key we get multiple results with different units, and some have costs and some don't.

Regards,

Marc
